Hi, this is my first post here. Today I reserved a new S7 that is "in transit" and should be here at my dealer's place in 2 weeks. For those of you that have bought one recently, can I reasonably expect to negotiate some off the MRSP? Did any of you pay full MRSP? I know with cars that in high demand, and low volume like the S7 they don't negotiate as much, but what you you all experienced?

Thanks. I'm really excited! For color, I got the Mythos black metallic exterior, with Arras red (Audi design) interior.

Congrats on your decision. It's a great car. I paid 6% under msrp through a discount from the Audi Club. Didn't get any discount for audicare though. Good luck!

I agree. Highly recommend audi club membership. Unless you can wait 6 months, just pay the $750 for lifetime. It will save thousands off your s7.

Thanks for the replies. Audi Club sounds like a great deal. But I don't think I can wait 6 months to buy . . . (Just because I'm impatient)

As a side note, now I'm having 2nd thoughts about the Arras red interior.

It is well worth paying for a Lifetime Audi club membership. You will save more than the $750 fee on a purchase of an S7 and you don't need to wait 6 months.

The Arras red certainly makes a statement!

I paid the $750.00 for lifetime membership and still saved money with the 6% discount. Also they threw in audicare. S7 is a great ride.

Wow – the Audi club membership is such a great deal. At first I didn't understand that if you buy the lifetime membership you can use it immediately and don't have to wait the six months. I went ahead and did that and today I negotiated on a price – at first they were not going to budge off the MSRP and then I brought up the Audi club discount. Then they tried to tell me it wasn't valid for the S7, so I told them I knew other people had gotten the discount on S7s (from reading in this forum) and I pulled up the Audi club website right in front of them, and it showed the restricted cars (S7 is not in the list). Finally after about a 20 minute delay the sales manager agreed to it.

Saved close to $5000!!

Congrats! Good to hear the forum helped. I wonder sometimes how dealerships just don't know their stuff when it comes to the cars, or just mislead us (hopefully not).

Oh, BTW, before you finally seal the deal, if you haven't yet. Or, even if you already did, try to find out if there are any factory to dealer or factory to customer incentives for the S7. Some dealers will not voluntarily tell you that there are incentives for the customer. You have to walk into the dealership armed with this information and ask for it. Otherwise, the dealership will just pocket this money after the transaction.

Current incentives are $1000 for financing with Audi Financial or $1500 if you are a current Audi customer.
